5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth, May 18, 2001
This review is from: The Black Man's Guide to Working in a White Man's World (Hardcover)
You may not like what Mr. Lathan says and you may not like how he says it but if you want to succeed in corporate America you should get this book and study it. Mr. Lathan tells the truth that black men and black women need to hear about working, setting goals, and making it. I've purchased several copies and gave one to every teenager in my family.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Excuses, No Apologies, No Surrender!, May 5, 2000
This review is from: The Black Man's Guide to Working in a White Man's World (Hardcover)
This book is a breath of fresh air for anyone looking to succeed in life. E. LeMay offers no excuses for being born to an impoverished family. He shows how a little education and a lot of hard work can help anyone of any shape, size, disability, handicap or color succeed. E. LeMay refused to be stereotyped and shows how he succeeded because of his merits, not the color of his skin. E. LeMay is an inspiration to his peers and a positive role model for our next generation.
